Are you kidding? A five year old entrepreneur, Sebastian Martinez,  is making a lot more money than I have made in my whole life so far. At the age of five, Sebastian was all about crazy designs on socks. Knowing this, his mom suggested to him that he should start creating his own socks. At that age, one has nothing to lose, so he created he own company called “Are You Kidding”. This company is comprised of a lot of crazy looking socks that Sebastian created all by himself. In 2014, Are You Kidding made $15,000 in profit and through 2015, Sebastian is projecting his profits to double and possibly triple from last year’s profits.

As such a young kid, you would not think him to be smart with all the money he is making, but in reality, he is setting a great example for the rest of us by partnering with money non-profit organizations or donating a lot of its profits to respectable causes. In 2014, Are You Kidding combined with both the American Cancer Association and Live Like Bella Foundation to raise money for cancer. Through these efforts, Are You Kidding raised over$3000 for cancer research. Also, this past April they partnered with The Hue Studio and gave 25% of its sales to Discovery Arts, which is a charitable organization which helps terminally ill children by bringing art programs to them so they have something fun and engaging to do.

This kid is such an inspiration to me because anyone making that kind of money tends to be greedy and keep it all for themselves, but Sebastian shows wisdom in his youth and gives a lot of it away to kids who are much more in need of it than he is.
